Starting from a fundamental understanding of the reaction itself, the transport phenomena and physico-chemical properties, production processes are designed, constructed and optimized. The program covers aspects from the micro-scale of the chemical reaction, over the meso-scale of the reactor and separation units to the macro scale of the entire process. Via elective courses, master students have the possibility to personalize the scope of their program by either broadening or deepening it. Courses are either taught by recognized researchers in their field or by guest professors from industry, bringing in the necessary practical insights, particular in chemical process design and process safety.
